Can't believe there isn't a thread already so please feel free to move if my search missed it.
I'm really enjoying this brewery. I find that it does a solid job at a bunch of diverse styles. They have recently expanded and I'm seeing more variety at the bottle shop on a consistent basis.
Range of styles they usually have is pale ales, a porter, helles and a bitter. I find the porter and the diving horse pale great and always get a few. I find the bitter they have a bit too malty for my tastes. Sometimes they have a stout that is very good.
They also have a bunch of different IPAs and pale ales which they cycle through. Not sure if it is experimentation or the fact they are a small brewery and can't get consistent hops that drives this decision. These are often fantastic but it really depends on whether you like the hops.
My coles notes:
Worked for me:
Roller boat IPA, Cascade Pale Ale, Dereliction IIPA,
Not for me:
Pavilion Pale Ale - Has a lemony biscuit taste that I don't enjoy
Only inconsistent beer I have tried:
R-1000 - First time/first batch they made was very good, looking at the Toronto Beer blog review of this, that's what I remember lots of tropical fruit aromas. The next time I had it, seemed mostly just bitter like they had completely changed the hops.
The only beer I have had that I didn't enjoy was their amber which they started out with but they don't seem make anymore.
This brewery is definitely going in the right direction and that includes everything from the branding to the product selection and I'm excited to see what they do next.
